GCC 4.1.1 for MinGW

siomek:
Right, it was downloader problem. Thanks for help.

why do newer versions of gcc fail to compile lots of things anyway?

Well, the new versions of GCC include many changes and many new optimization features, and just as one would expect, such a big project with such big changes can lead to some evil bugs.

What's sad is the win32 port seems to be the most buggy one :(

Thanks a lot for the compilation.
So far, works for me - fine.
I did compile fltk2 and gsl :-)
The only think is that the code is normally a bit ~30kb bigger that the code compiled with gcc (mingw) 3.4.5.
It would be very interest to see if the situation will change with compilation options a bit altered.
Could you please, before rebuilding gcc replace all "-g -o2" and "-o2" instances on "-Os -fno-exceptions -DHAVE_INLINE". This instructions known to drastically reduce size of executables (hence libraries).

jarro_2783:
so it's not that there has been a change in the way c++ works, it's that such a huge upgrade of something like a compiler is bound to cause bugs?
